Thanks. I was being a bit silly, mixing up the configuration of dovecot + postfix with setting up spamassassin. I have two CentOS-6.4 servers, in different places. One has been running dovecot + sendmail since CentOS-5, and the upgrade to CentOS-6 did not affect this. The other server has never run dovecot until now, and I had not realized that sendmail had been replaced by postfix as the default MTA. It seems to work fine. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
